Quick recap and my own opinions.recap.Ralf Sheepers is in a band called Primal Fear, awesome band and has an obvious influence from Halford and Priest.Matt Barlow is the longest lasting singer for Iced Earth, he left/fired for a while and Ripper was hired. Barlow was then re-hired then Ripper was fired.

IMORipper era Judas Priest was actually ok. Jugulator had some good songs like Cathedral Spires, Burn in Hell and Jugulator.The live Cds were great. Ripper did a great service to the old songs in Halford's stead.Demolition...........well uh....lets forget that ever existed. And I think it was more of a writing issue than anything.

The best song on the Beyond Fear album was Scream Machine. Everything else was ok-mediocre.
